Re: Public Comment
Gormus: Open floor for public comment. Being no public comment we'll close that section.
Re: Old Business: U.pdates-MHP in & Comprehensive Plan
Gormus: Ms. Cobb
Cobb: Yes, so there are two updates for you tonight. The first is the Mobile Home Park
Ordinance. We sent that to the Board of Supervisors and they have scheduled a public hearing
for that. So that public hearing for that ordinance is set for April's meeting. I think that is April
14th. And then the Comprehensive Plan. Last we met the Planning Commission asked the
Board of Supervisors to still seek some help for the Comprehensive Plan and the ordinances,
the subdivision and zoning ordinance. And that was taken that request was taken to the Board
of Supervisors. The Board decided to at this time to just seek help for the Comprehensive Plan
and address the Ordinances at a later date. But what they have asked is that the CRC, we are
members with the CRC, Commonwealth Regional Council, and they have asked them to give a
quote, a price on some specific items within the Comprehensive Plan. So those things we're to
look at doing an executive summary to bring it into compliance with State Code. Also to look
at, the implementation plan and kind of help us come up with a hierarchy and schedule for
implementing those items. And then also to have some community outreach with this as well.
So those were the main things that were highlighted. I do expect the CRC will come back to us.
I have asked that they come back the beginning of April. So hopefully at the next Board
meeting as well, that information will be back and the Board can look at that those items and
see if the price is something they feel like that they can do.
But so what I have provided you with in the meantime on that I've put a couple of pages there
at your seats tonight. And this is basically the outline of the Comprehensive Plan. So you'll see
in bold are the section headings which are: Introduction; Demographics; Community Resources;
Specialty Policy Areas; Land Use Plan; Goals, Objectives, Implementation and then
Implementation Plan. And so and then under those are the specific. items within the
Comprehensive Plan. Under those items and so you'll see I have left space there that says
Change do we want to change this and then No or Yes and you can just write in there what you
think for those items. I have put some of those answers in there for you so some of your
homework is already done.
Where like it says location, Size of the County, I don't think Buckingham County has moved in
its location or it's we haven't expanded our boundaries so we don't have to change that. So
that's already got a no there. Population I did say yes. We've had a census and we know our
Buckingham County
Planning Commission
March 24,2014
Page 39
population has changed and our projected growth changes. So that is something we will need
to update.
Then you'll see under transportation I put no and that's because that's not too much that we
can do there. We can certainly say whether or not we want to upgrade certain roads or look at
certain roads because they are in growth areas and that sort of thing. But there's a lot of stuff
in the transportation that is up to VDOT. So this gets handed to VDOT and they tell us what we
need to put in there and what we need to consider. And so you'll see to the side there that's
what I've put in the notes.
So as you're going through this and you're putting your no's and yeses, if you've got a yes you'll
see you can mark what you think needs to happen for that section. Whether you think we need
to delete all or portions of it, whether we need to add things to it, reorganize it or other. And
then I do have a spot there for you to put notes just as to kind of help me know what you mean
by delete, add or other and that sort of thing. So you can make notes there.
And then the Community Facilities & Services you'll see that I put yes. For example, when I
was looking through that section I noticed it does mention our shell building in the Industrial
Park which Is not a shell building anymore. It is a school. So that is something that we need to
update.
So you'll also notice under Specialty Policy Areas I have listed the individual Village Center and
Corridor Areas there for individual and so most of you have those in your District one or two of
those. And so I'll really be looking to you all for your thoughts on those, particularly Village
Center as far as what you think about those maps and the wording there under that.
On the second page you'll also notice at the bottom I did include maps as a separate section.
haven't listed all of the maps here but I just listed some of the main ones and kind of
categorized them as well. So you'll see that the map for Population Density I have put a yes
there and because that could change again with our census. And I just thought that was a very
useful map that we do have in there and shows us where we have our more populated areas
and our more sparsely populated areas. I'm also thinking that something we may want to add
is some additional maps in that section to show the now that we have our GIS and our parcel
data we can highlight and show the areas that have the large parcels. So we can ask it to show
us all of the parcels that are 50 acres and up or 100 acres and up. And that will really should
give us an idea of our rural areas that we want to protect. And then we can do the reverse as
well and include a map that shows the smaller parcels. So where there are you know you can
set where you know you want to have that mark. Whether it be 5 acres and less or 10 acres
and less and that will show you more of our neighborhoods and our areas that maybe we could
make sure we have incorporated in as growth centers and that sort of thing. Yes?

Smith: If you were to enter Plum Creek, the timber company, would it show what they now
own?
Cobb: At this moment, no because the system that I have is a little bit behind so it's not going
to have it transferred into their name. So but yes for all intent and purposes we can say
MeadWestvaco and everything that is MeadWestvaco would show up.
Smith: Oh, OK
Cobb: So yes we could do a forestry map. We could do things like that. So those are things I'm
thinking that maybe we want to consider adding there. There are what I'm calling service
maps. There's maps that show our water our public water system. Maps that show our public
sewer, hydrants things like that. Those we could update with new aerials possibly to show that
area a little bit better because things have changed. We do have better aerials now.
Again the Growth Areas that's the Village Centers and things like that that we delineate. Last
time we had a difficult time actually doing those boundaries last time because we didn't have a
GIS so we had to go by railroad tracks and creeks and things like that and we couldn't do actual
property boundaries. So that's something we can consider this time whether we want to do
actual property boundaries with that. So that may mean that the lines change a little bit but it
could be that it's a growth center that we think we need to decrease in size anyway or increase
in size anyway.
So these are all things for you to go through and kind a of mark because what I'm thinking is if
the Board of Supervisors decides to go with CRC then we already have this done. We are one
step there. This is exactly what they are going to come and want to start hearing from you all
anyway about what you want to do. So and if the Board decides we're not going to go with CRC
then this is the very thing I'm going to bring in and see what you want to do. So either way this
is the beginning of working on the Comprehensive Plan. So just we will have our work session
that we've cancelled, our work sessions so far this year. But so we will have our April work
session and this is what we will work on. We' ll go through each of these items and I'll let each
of you speak to what you feel like we need to do with each section on that. So ...
Bickford: I don't see a place for this but I guess you can write in over in the notes. Do you
want, as additional, us to prioritize what we think we need to look at first at a list? It really
doesn't make, if you don't think you need to change something then it probably doesn't need
to be prioritized. That's low on the totem pole. But I'm just thinking for maybe time efficiency
if we wanted to change something and we think it's probably the priority should we note it as
priority one, priority two, three, four?

Cobb: Well, I don't know that if we're going to go into this and we're going to be changing XYZ
things anyway I don't know that we need to put them in order of priority. I think the priority
will become one we would probably have public meetings first and will need to hear because
some of that may change what we think is priority when we hear from the public what they
want. And then two some of it is just going to be easier to work on than other parts. So I don't
know that we need to prioritize at this point which things we'll work on first.
Bickford: OK
Cobb: I mean I certainly want to hear from you all what. That's another _priority thought Is. I
certainly want to hear from you all what you feel is most important not that we would do that
item first. But you know what item is the one that you would have the most heartburn over if
we didn't change or if we do change? That Is certainly important. The items that you feel the
strongest about like we do need to know that.
Bickford: OK
Gormus: You want these, us to do this by next work session?
Cobb: Yes, by the next work session so we can discuss it and compare everyone's notes and see
where everyone stands.
Gormus: Alright. Do the other Commissioners have any comments? Then I guess that moves
us on to the Building Permits.
Re: Building Permits
Gormus: Ms. Cobb.
Cobb: And Building Permits, for the month of February we had 24 building permits with a total
of $2,329.13. And you can see that we had a total new dwellings of 2 and 7 residential total. So
that's it for my building report.
Gormus: Alright, thank you.
Re: Commission Matters/Concerns
Gormus: Do any other commissioners have any concerns or matters to bring before the Board'?
Ok, being none do I have a motion to adjourn?

ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER'S LIST
rt-7
(Required)
L:_;/
The applicant shall provide a list of all adjoining landowners, including subject property and all property
immediately across the street/road from the subject property. Any body of water does not constitute a boundary
line for this purpose, therefore a body of water and the property adjoining the subject property but separated by a
body of water is still considered an adjoining landowner. County boundary lines and those adjoining property
owners in the next County are considered adjoining property owners if the land adjoins the subject's property.
Adjoining landowners can be verified through the Buckingham County Clerk of Courts or the Clerk's Office in the
adjoining County, or by personal contact. The list shall include the name, address, town/city, zip code, road route
number, tax map section number, parcel number, lot number, and subdivision. The list shall be typewritten or
printed legibly. Failure to list all adjoining landowners could delay the process.

Blue Willow Farm Equestrian Center
1045 South James Madison HW'{.
Farmville, Virginia 23901
Request for Special Use Permit
Blue Willow Farm Equestrian Center,lLC, located on Hwy 15 and Rt. 683 is requesting a special use
permit to conduct one equine event per month at their facility.
Blue Willow is excited about resuming our very popular equine events. Blue Willow Farm has been in
operation since 1989, and was known for having the most organized and well attended equine shows in
Central Virginia. Since being re-organized, Blue Willow Farm Equestrian Center offers horseback riding
lessons, horse boarding, equine dental work, hay production, grain sales, and if all goes well, equine
events. The events, along with the other' profit centers, will play an integral part in the future success of
Blue Willow.
Purpose
The purpose of the events is to bring publicity to the newly re-organized Blue Willow Farm Equestrian
Center and to introduce visitors to Buckingham County. It is also expected to generate much needed
revenues for Blue Willow.
The Facility
Blue Willow Farm is located on Hwy. 15 and Rt. 683. Meticulously maintained, the event area will be 15
acres of open land which is harvested for hay bi-annually. The events area also has a secondary entrance
which is located between Hwy.lS and Rt. 683. Due to State of Virginia regulations, VOOT installed this
entrance to ensure the longevity of the entrance and the safety of the show's attendees. After many
horse shows in the 1990's, the entrance proved to be more than adequate to handle the several
hundred vehicles and trailers that attended those events. It is expected that the new events will attract
the same amount of traffic. Parking in the fields will be controlled by an interior perimeter fence and
there will be a $2 fee.
Participants will compete in a new arena, which is constructed of white vinyl in the shape of an oval, and
has four metal gates that may be used as entrances or exits. There are two barns located near the show
area as well. One barn is for storage and hay, while the other barn is being converted to a show office
and concession stand. All concession stands will operate according to State and County laws and
regulations. The fadlity also has a permanent rest room for guest as well as a source of water and electricity if needed. Portable toilets may be used if deemed necessary to accommodate an overflow of
attendees. We also plan to add lighting around the arena area in the future.
While there are no expected concerns related to fire and rescue, the facility is located between two
firehouses in the event of any unintentional emergencies. The central location also lends itself to an
outstanding area for all cell service. As an additional precaution, there will always be a certified CPR
individual at each event. Because security issues at events are very rare, we are confident that we will
be capable of managing most situations; however, in the event of illegal activity or threatening behavior
we will promptly notify local law enforcement agencies.
The Event
During the summer, events will run from8 a.m. to 8 p.·m.; but the hours will be shortened during the
winter. When new lights are installed, however, expanded hours may be necessary. Entrants into the
competition will be required to pay an entrants fee and winners of the competition will be awarded
either a ribbon, trophy, or cash. These fees and awards are sometimes regulated by the appropriate
sanctioning boards. During the competition, a public address system will be used to help manage the
proceedings in the arena, and a sign at the farm will be used to advertise the events. All entrant horses
will have to provide a valid negative Coggins test, as well as be visibly healthy and sound. Entrant riders
will be required to sign release forms and to wear helmets as required by the governing association
during competition.
·- . -Cancessions will be available at the shows and w~ll be pr<?vided by certified servers only. Trash cans will
be positioned around the facility, all recyclables will be sorted, and all trash will be held in an on-sight
storage bin. The facility-in-general and the on premises rest rooms will be monitored regularly for
cleanliness as well. All pets will be required to be leashed or confined to the owner's truck or trailer. At
the conclusion of the event, the premises will be cleaned and neighboring properties will be check for
trash as well. We do expect between 50-100 trucks and trailers, give or take some; as well as an
additional 50 vehicles that may be watching the event.
Conclusion
Receiving this special use permit is a big step in re-establishing Blue Willow Farm as a viable business for
Buckingham County. These events will bring visitors to both the facility and the county. The overall
impact should be all positive, and there ·should be no demands on county resources. Blue Willow Farm
Equestrian Center has a strong desire to operate a clean, organized farm, in a healthy environment. We
believe that our philosophy is in concert with Buckingham County's vision, and our equine events will
operate under this belief.
Sincerely,
Amaris Wilbanks
